Ohhh so all the OG Apple Watch Ultra bands colors. Midnight was the one before the fully black ocean band came out with the completely black trail loop.

Was thinking of doing that. Are these the air blowers used for getting dust off keyboards 🎹? I thought of using a cotton swab to clean it out like when I clean the AirPods ear meshes with my screen cleaner. Thanks friend.
This is the cleaning kit I have it’s only $4 on Amazon, the blower and the brush work great on my Hermes Kilim bands as well, which attract a lot of dust due the Kilim’s design.

Even though it has been a while since I used a conventional DSLR camera, these are great affordable things to clean AirPods and Apple Watch bands. I also use a cleansing brush from Daiso for dusting off my laptop keyboard, a high quality glasses cloth that came with my glasses to wipe down my bands, sanitize my iPhone and Apple Watch and polish it, and a couple of bottles of screen cleaner from the store to keep my Apple products clean. I also use art kneading erasers to extract debris from AirPods meshes where the brush cannot get it out.
I have tried a size one before but the S10 would render it a size 2
The new Series 10 42mm watch has a longer and rounder case, allowing it to fit 40/41 bands, and it doesn’t appear too large overall. However, with the Apple Watch Ultra (AWU), the case is higher and thicker, causing it to push up and create extra space in solo loops. This is a common issue reported by many AWU users due to its large case size. ⌚️

New band dropped today, y’all… $12 only.

My Braided Nylons don‘t look like that on my 46.

Also, pictures always exaggerate „the gap“.

And technically, the Beige is a 45 band. Maybe they slightly changed the new 46 Braideds? (Couldn‘t tell as I don’t have one).

It’s a 41 strap, on a 42 case.

I never noticed it before, but I haven’t worn it.

I just tried a couple of my BSLs, and there are tiny gaps. As you say, photos exaggerate things, and it’s hardly noticeable.

It doesn’t bother me, and I have OCD.

For those that own the leather link strap, how comfortable is it? Anyone had chance to compare against the trail loop?
Just got mines and it’s comfortable and secure. Make sure to get the Apple branded ones the replicas do not have the strong magnetic bumps like the real deal. Only thing is that it leaves marks when I take it off but should not be an issue with comfort wise.
